What I remember: 15

‘It’s really
happening. This really is happening…’

Hwang Bo
couldn’t take her eyes off the screen in the waiting room as she watched Hyun
Joong singing the one song that had been playing in her mind for the past two
years. She felt the tears welling up in her eyes as she sang along with Hyun
Joong, a million thoughts racing through her mind as the memories they once
shared came back to her.

The happiness
they once shared was still so fresh in her memory; the joy that she felt would
never leave her for as long as she was alive. So when she heard the heated
exchange that Hyun Joong shared with his manager, her whole body froze when his
manager threatened to spill the beans that would have shattered their lives.

“Do you
really want me to call her out now and tell her, Hyun Joong?”

“Hyung…
Please don’t do this. We can work things out, it doesn’t have to come this far…
Hyung…” Hyun Joong pleaded but his manager was beyond all reason.

“Hye
Jung-ssi! Come out now! There is no point in hiding when we all need to let
this out in the open! Hye Jung-ssi!”

Hwang Bo
stepped out of the darkness, only to face the thunderous anger that Hyun Joong’s
manager unleashed upon her.

“Hye
Jung-ssi. I respect you as a person, and I feel that it’s no longer right for
you to be living a lie.”

“Hyung!!!”

“Hyun Joong
has been lying to you, Hye Jung-ssi. He never loved you the way you thought he
did. Did you really believe in everything he said to you during your months in
the show? It was a lie. The reason why he managed to get so close to you in
such a short time was because he told everyone that he took it as if you were
his ex-girlfriend, the one that he had no choice but to leave. That is the real
reason why he suddenly became a different person. It was never what you thought
it was. That he fell for you as you went through the experiences together. You were
merely a replacement for him at the time. A replacement.”

Unable to
even breathe, all Hwang Bo could do was look at Hyun Joong as he crumbled to
the floor. His manager looked on at the both of them before slowly stepping
back, hit with the realization that he had hurt two of the best people in the
world through his fit of rage. Unable to
say anything else, he turned and walked out the door as he left the both of
them to sieve through the pieces of their lives together.

There are a lot of times when I asks myself if things are really happening. I even think deeply about how I came into places and instances. Well, I also arrived with the fact that life is as mysterious as it is.
